He said the technology is not just limited to people with top notch 7.1 and 5.1 systems, but it can also benefit those with plain stereo speakers.

Mahabub said the game industry has been so focused on improving graphics, that audio was shoved to the side, leaving very little processing power for proper audio.

“We focus on 3D audio, but to bring professional grade audio to the industry requires processing horsepower,” he said. He said AMD’s TrueAudio technology is finally making it possible to deliver professional grade audio in games.
